INTERNAL SECURITY - \e oboe 6,33 2
For the benefit of the Bureau as to the functioning of the Chicago Office and the status ᾿ of CG 5824..-5 at the present time, the following information is furnished to the Bureau on three major points. I have ;discussed all three of these Situations myself personally with this informant, and the conclusions set forth below are my earnest opinion as to what appears at this time, with the data that we know, the best possible decision, ~ ;
i. Health 4~5* . and |
In the year anda half that I have been in Chicago, and fron talking to the contact agent who has been handling this individual for four years, we have never seen this couple in worse- physical con- dition.
As the Bureau knows, CG 5824-8* is a broken man physically. He is on the fringe edge of pneumonia at the present time, completely worn down from the difference in the climate of his recent trip, and feels that his heart condition has been aggravated. As the Bureau files will reflect, he has a history of tubercu- losis and with his present severe complaint of dry pleurisy, obviously is in very poor physical condition. His absence from his usual duties because of the trip has put him in the position of being behind in his regular work for us, and he feels that he has got to catch up as to things that have been going on due to the absence. His desire to furnish us complete infor- mation, which he has done in the form of several hundred pages of reports, has been shown, but it is obvious that with the unfinished business that he has in New York, i.e., reports to NEC and DENNIS, plus his desire to set

up an apparatus, coupled with his physical condition, have just about got him on the ragged edge. [I per- sonally think that the man will not recover his normal situation and momentum for some considerable period, and obviously, we cannot be inhuman and push him on much of anything as we have now gotten just about the entire story of data to report from his trip, with the remaining being entirely up to him, i.e., for him to
develop the situation according to his own best judgment.

the Large sense as he is of being of every possible assistance to the country, but in her present condition it is not even feasible to talk business with her.
In summary, these people are faced physically with some obviously untenable situations-—
a. He has been told to go underground for a period of time.
" Ν same leave to : underground while
c. They have the problems of the handling of the home as well as the necessity for him to complete his business with DENNIS; to say nothing of,
ἃ, His desire to immediately institute an apparatus,
All in all, we have just got to nurse this situation along with him, understanding our desire for his personal health and well being, and play it by ear, recognizing that some of his situation is colored by the physical status of his wife and himself at this time.

CG 184-46 Sub B 2. The Problem of the
In complete summary as of this time, it is his complete and studied belief that the issuance alone of a subpoena would not only be completely unwise, but in his opinion, would completely destroy the possibility of his setting up an apparatus.
We have discussed this situation with him at length and eventually it is possible that the answer might be that he should get a subpoena (to which obviously, in his opinion; and from DENNIS' comments, he would plead the Sth Amendment), but that is not the problem at this point. He. feels that the reiteration and the authority of the comments made in. the REISEL article are of such a character that the Russians would back away from him immediately were he to be subpoenaed under the present circumstances.
a. He feels that no subpoena should logically be directed at him as so-called "small fry" in the minds of the public and possibly of the Committee until after action has been taken as to the leaders in public opinion, i.@., JACKSON, MORRIS, TRACHTENBERG, etc. Obviously, their subpoenas should not be issued because there. has been no recent publicity about them.and probably should await their return to the United States. A good ground in connection with this would be the. results from the search and inquiry by Customs at the time of their return as the first step in this.
b. He feels that from his personal point of view of the Party, he could adequately explain the lack ofa subpoena issued for:him provided that subpoenas are only issued. to part of the total group whose names must have been obtained from the State Department for journey to Russia. This would not be so, of course, if he were the only one out of the total group not sub- poenaed, It is suggested that the Bureau can make this kind of an arrangement where it is necessary to insure that only part are subpoenaed.
CG 134-46 Sub B
Another phase of the situation is the difference between a subpoena actually being issued and it being served, and with him in a position of being temporarily underground for the next several | months possibly, it is conceivable that with disclosures they might get from the rest, as set forth above, he might be lost in the shuffle and not be served, and thus not get any publicity.
ce, CG 5824-S* feels that as far as possible, the Bureau should insure that there be no. publicity whatsoever concerning him or any activity which con- ceivably could be traced to him if he is to -be able to follow out the Russians' instructions, keep DENNIS satisfied and happy, while he inaugurates the possi~ bilities of a new apparatus.
His current thinking, in view of the develop- ments, i.e., the, publicity and his current assignments, pius our own present considered opinion, is that the
| Bureau should not return his name to the Committee along
with the current list requesting addresses for fear that this temporary small point of advantage to the Bureau would endanger his whole future.
J might note that it is of considerable concern to him that the REISEL article came out the day he flew in here from Paris with his pockets stuffed full of notes and materials from the Congress, plus gifts from the Russians. It is his feeling that had it come out one day sooner, Customs would have been watching for the return of such an individual who had been reiterated and lately publicized as being a delegate and would have blown up the situation.
3. The Development of An Additional
New Man in a Potential Apparatus
I. have discussed this matter with him in con- siderable detail, He flatly states himself that he has no one that he can think of who could fill the bill. He has. requested NY 694-S to similarly endeavor to select an individual which also has had negative results. I have discussed with him the possibility of the Bureau
CG 134-46 sub Β
being of assistance in this regard, having in mind the possibility that some arrangements could be made for someone we could introduce into the situation to be utilized, with completely negative results.
_ CG 5824-S* ddvises me that it is necessary that somebody be found who is known to both he and his brother; who is also known to DENNIS; who is com- pletely trusted by all three of them; and who has. been in the position of being a member of the group over a long period of time, i.e., 20 or 25 years.
I even discussed with him the possibility that someone from another part of the country might feasibly. be moved to New York under special arrangement. He states that in theory, this could be. possible pro- vided there were such an individual, but as a practical matter, he doubts that the control of the Party is such now as it used to be, and doubts that they would physically move to New York, As an example, he states, "Look at the difficulty in the problem of transferring headquarters from New York to Chicago." This statement by him appears reasonable when the Bureau stops to think of the number of those in the underground who did not follow instruc-— tions and who improperly came. out of cover’.
Over and beyond the possibility of having Such a new individual as a contact man for a potential apparatus, I have the feeling that this is a long time problem to. be worked out, if it is capable of solution at all, in that the contact will be so intermittent, spasmodic and irregular that I doubt whether it would require the expansion of the apparatus by going to the potential danger spot of adding another man to it. Yet, I think we have got to leave the problem at this time entirely up to CG 5824-S*, We did not help him when he. made his contacts in Russia. He sold himself in every respect without our assistance, and it appears the bettex to me at this time to see how things develop without any intervention by us.
The Bureau's teletype of commendation was unable to be logically delivered due to meeting time arrangements. AS a consequence, it will not be utilized
CG 134-46 Sub B
at this time as the correct opportunity for such a teletype appears to have gone by the board. Instead,
it is requested that the Bureau furnish a letter, as
was done before, directed to him for commendation,
which we would show to him and again maintain in the files of the Chicago Division, A suggested form of
such a letter is attached inasmuch as this office
feels that the wording therein would appeal to this sensitive type of individual in his present circumstances,
Further, in view of the tremendous information and the possibilities of a new apparatus heretofore not even contemplated, which he himself has developed, plus the commendation he has received from the Party and the tremendous gifts from the Russians, it is felt that the Bureau should again furnish a $1,000 incentive award in nature which should be handled as separate from the letter of commendation and concern for his physical situation,
The comments of the Bureau are invited.

Mx. Morris Childs Chicago, Illinois

To comrade ‘ames Jackson and the American Communist delegation in Moscow,
Year comrades, 7 | I amwriting this from a health resort near Canton, to which I
came two weeks ago for a month's rest and also to finish the booklet on the Chinese People's Communes, which will be simultaneously published by New Century ((probabl: under imprint of New World Review or “ar Eastern Committee, and also bytbez a press in Peking for distributién in ASia and the Middle East, Reading this morning in the press of Jackson's apeech in Moscow, I learned at least the name of one US delegate and therefore write.
First of all, you should know--if you do not, --that Foster's letter to Mao
Tse-tung was published here widely---a long one taking more than half a |
newspaper page in ἃ land where newsprint is in short supply because of the |
terrific demand (almost every commune now makes local paper for its needs), and I asx that you send Foster my greetings....Second,it was stated around Peking before I left that Dr Dubois and Eslanda will be comin, here: I haope this is true..Third, it was also stated that maud Russell was coming but novody seems to know whether she plans to come at once or not till
October, and whether she plans to stay a long time or merel,; make contacts. |
“ence I amwriting to tell you: 1) that I think it very important that some- ody come here soon who then goes back to the USA to organize contacts.
publicity. A friend of mine came with ne, travelled six weeks with me and went back bypkane to fiontreal and ordinary train to New York, and had no trouble whatever. However, if and when this iri nd by text 8 =©publishin of lecturing should reveal previous presence here, trouble might arise.. On this you know beiter than I: rumor says Nearing is "under house arrest" |
|
for having -ome to China, but since we do not have "house arrest" in the USA, I should be interested to know what gid occur. This isonly one example of the lack of communication between the countries..
The reason for sending someone here, who then goes back is that some way ' ghould be built whereby information flows easily from here to the USA.
I have sent already 35 articles, total of over 200 pages..Of these -erhaps 7 did not arrive--checking is hard-—-while the Guardian used some, and others stb look for. a publisher.....Personal letters usually gett hrough but not always...Printed matter seldom goes through from here, santime this country | produces a lot of good photos and motion pictures which would be terrific in the USA....Their atyle is more adapted to the American mind than the Russian films ever were...Theixrxpeasantx 1 saw last night a film, full-
length, called "County Secretary", about how a commune Brew, whose peasant humor is right down the smerican alley..,echnique of movies is |

During the course of his recent trip to the Soviet Unions CG 5824-8 ong with James Jackson had occasion to meet with functionaries of the
Communist Party (CP) of Panama, who were also in Hoscow as delegates to the Nessise ars ee Se ᾿ - al — 7 Preity SSE "Hugé\victor, chairman of the GP of panama, stated that the CPUSA
and the CP of Panama. have some common problems tn the Canal Zone since the American workers in Panama have special privileges while the other workers are discriminated against. He stated that there are two labor organizations in the Canal Zone, both of which are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor = Congress of Industrial Organizations. one consists: of civil employees while the other is made up of empioyees of Arny; Navy: and Atr Force. He continued that while the -Party in Panama has an international ΠΕΡ deer in thése untons, communists do not have any posttions in the
unions. According to Victor, the Party members in Panama are systematically expelled and persecuted.
Victor said that the CP was originally organized in Panama tn 193} but was dissolved in September, 1948, He said that while they were supposed
to have created a néw mass. party in December, 1948, the CP was resestablishec
@s a people's party with @ low ideological level. He continued that at the time Egypt seized the Suez Canal, a certain spark of national indé pendence was also witnessed in Panama. At this time a nationalist and anti~imperial= ist feeling developed. He stated. that while there are twotma jor: parttes in Panama, there is no progressive party; therefore, the people Look upon the students as the vanguard. and .these ‘students are the most mil itant forces tn Panama. He continued that the chief force in Panama ts the Wat.tonal Guard and whoever controls it controls political power., .

Victor continued that the’ Party in Panama sometimes participates in “electi ons in one forn. or another but those people who sign the Party ‘list are discriminated against and are frightened and terrorized by the 'Governnent of Panama as well as that of the United States. As a result, the

Memorandum to Mr. Belmont RE: SOLO L00-4280912
According to Victor, the Party in Panama is working for the creation of ἃ national front against United States imperialism. He appealed to the CPUSA to begin to develop an outlook regarding Panama and to develop G line on the problems facing the workers of Panama. He talked about the need for contact and communications with the CPUSA. He was promised by the American representattues that the GPUSA will re«establish contact with the CP of Panama and that some of the problems of the Party tn Panama will be discussed at .a meeting of the national comnittee of the CPUSA. He was Glso promised that the GPUSA will start to take a greater interest in the problems of Panama, .
According to CG 5824S, it appears that the CP of Panama is very small in sizes however, it 8 in a very strategic spot where there is some bitter anti-Untted States feeling.
RECOMMENDATT ΟΥ̓:

During the course of the recent trip of our infornant: CG 5824-8 to the Spviet Union he, along with other members of the Communist Party, USA, (crusas, had occasion to, meet with: representatives of the Propaganda Section of the Soviet Ministry of Culture. Τὸ ts noted that the Propaganda Section is responsible for the publication of the magazine USSR,!! which is distributed in the United, States on a reciprocal basis tn return for the Soviets allowing the distribution of the United States magazine "America" in the Soviet Union. |.
{
. The Soviet officials at this meeting wanted an opinion regarding the effect of Russian short-wave radio broadcasts to the United States. Since none of the CPUSA representatives own a short-wave radto set, they were una ; Ἂ inton. .
ἘΠ ve ape an opinton WS, YrSSR
—~In discussing the abque-mentioned magazine "America," one of the
ChusAyfunctionaries, Alexander/|Trachtenberg,. stated that it is not a good magazine. He was in general critical of its makeup and contents. The Soviets disagreed with Trachtenberg, however, and stated that "America" is. very attractive and from a technical point of view is an excellent magazine. They continued that "America" circulates and disappears rapidly from the newsstands in Russia. The Soviets continued, however, that they are not going to pyehior more circulation of “America” than they get for ΘΕ" in the United States. The only criticism that the Soviets made of "America" was that some things in the magazine are painted too optimistically and rostly, As a result, some Russian people are not convinced that the magazine accurately portrays conditions in the United States since they know that there must be some problems ‘tn the United States.
ACTION:
The above information would appear to be of definite interest to State Department since it is firsthand report of the Russian viewpoint Hegarding the magazine "America." No dissemination of this information ‘is being madé at the present time in order not to jeopardize our tnformant's security. Upon the return of additional CPUSA functionaries to: this . chuntry, however, consideration will then be given to disseminavion,

It will be observed front a perusal of the photographs and charts that the avea involved presents limited possibility from the standpoint of a photogzaphic suryeillance, The survey veflects that due to the nature of the terrain, there is Little possibility that. the persons inw lved. in the méet would walk east. on.

either stay in McGatry's Restaurant ΟΣ walk wést on Nereid

Mr. GEORGE T, ~ «= - TERS, _SR., who is a man of 70 to. 75 years of age, “Lives alone:.on, the "Axa floor, Apt. 15. His windows are-the four on the third floor located towards the rear, This location presents an ideal spot to conduct a photographic surveillance of anybody. in, front of MeGarry's Restaurant. GEORGE T. WATERS, SR., is a personal acquaintance of Supérvisor JOHN J, DANAHY of this. office. He’ has known the WATERS family in excess of, 15- years. The occasion for thé acquaintanceship was that for a six year period in the '40s, he maintained company with Mr. WATERS SA DANAHY advises that Mr. WATERS enjoys an excellent reputation, is very anti-Communist and is extremely loyal. -He states that he 18. cértain hé could make appropriate contact with Mr. WATERS so 868 to be able to have his apartment available for our usé during. the pertinent period. Mr,. DANAHY also states that there is Ὁ no question in his.mind but what appropriate surveillance could - be operated from this apartment with full security. The indices - of the New York ‘Office, as well as the Police Department, are negative with regard to Mr. WATERS.
The New York Office feéls that since it cannot bé anticipated as τό what will occur during and-subsequent to the “eontemplated meet, and since it is possible that this would be the
only meet between the informant and the unknown individual, that — appropriate photographic and visual: coverage should be given
to this meet in an effort to identify the unknown individual.
On the other hand, it is felt that this coverage should only be™ maintained if there is absolute security so that there would.be
no possibility of the unknown individual being aware of the existence of this coverage, A visual observation plant is felt desirable in. . addition to the photographic surveillances since it is not felt
that we should rely entirely on photograplis. The New York Office
has agents who are thoroughly familiar with most representatives
of Russia in this area and it is felt that it would be possible
to identify the individudl qn the spot. It would be possible to qerate both the visual plantsin conjunction with the photographic plants requiring no additional plant locations, It is, therefore, highly recommended that the New York Office be permitted to operate ᾿ς two plants, ἴα ἢ GEORGE T, WATERS, SR. apartment and the bic other in the apartment.

In. connection with this teconmendation, it is understood that the New York Office will guarantee the operation -of these oo plants with full security, Bureau authority is, therefore, requested to make the appropriate contacts in order to. set up these plants. The New York Office further reconmends against any additional type of coverage in the area. It is téalized . τ that: by not, having ‘additional coverage it is possible, die to ~ —~ the mode of travel arid the direction in which thé participants of the meet walk, that no identification. or photographs could _ be taken. it is felt that for the security of the opération, still no additional ‘coverage be had. even Though, this possibility. exists,

ἀν is noted that. CG 5 5824: $k is , expected to Look over
